“Effective collaboration among nurse practitioners and physicians requires appropriate sharing of information and mutual acknowledgment of and respect for each professional's knowledge, skills, and contributions to the provision of care.”

‐American College of Physicians, 2009

NP vs. PA

• In all states, PAs must have a supervising physician in order to practice, but not necessarily required to be on‐site

• 21 states allow for full practice authority for NPs, the rest require a collaborating/supervising physician

“Collaboration among physicians and nurse practitioners can occur during both face‐to‐face encounters and electronically through the use of technology, including telephone, e‐mail, telehealth, and electronic health records.”

“…While there are differences in the nature and extent of training of physicians and NPs, …the College acknowledges that NPs are health care professionals with the capability to provide important and critical access to primary care.”

Ohio Laws for NP

• NP is required to maintain a regulated collaborative agreement with a physician

• NP practice is regulated by the Board of Nursing

• Defined in law as Primary Care Providers

Scope of practice

• NP and PA have same scope of practice per Ohio state regulations

• May perform procedures as allowed by hospital privileges and physician training/supervision

• This allows for increased team flexibility, access for patients, and increased revenue

• Varies greatly by setting/facility

APPs at Kettering Health Network

• 263 APRNs, 162 PAs within the entire KHN

• Kettering Physician Network employs 103 APPs– 2 Neonatal– 31 Primary care– 12 Trauma – 7 Hospital medicine – 51 other specialties (cardiology, GYN, oncology, etc)

APP practice models

• Individual model– APP expected to see large patient volumes– APP bills for their services– Collaborates with physician when needed– APP works to top of their training/scope of practice

– Example: Family medicine, urgent care

Page 27: Advanced Practice Providers€¦ · surgery electives • Average 600 clinical hours for NP ... • Recertification exam every 10 years (previously every 6 years) • NP varies by

• Co‐Management model– Integrates the APP into the physician encounter– Allows physicians to see higher volume of patients– APP sees patient, completes HPI, PE, A/P, then presents to the physician 

– Physician reviews chart, repeats elements of the visit

– Physician bills for the encounter– APP performs all further care coordination– Example: CDU here at KMC

Page 28: Advanced Practice Providers€¦ · surgery electives • Average 600 clinical hours for NP ... • Recertification exam every 10 years (previously every 6 years) • NP varies by

• Rotational model– Patient is following plan of care that can be managed by the APP

– Typically seen in specialty practices– Initial eval by the physician, follow‐up visits with the APP

– If there is change in plan/needs, re‐eval by physician

– Both APP and physician bill for their respective encounter

– Example: Neurosurgery, cardiology

Page 29: Advanced Practice Providers€¦ · surgery electives • Average 600 clinical hours for NP ... • Recertification exam every 10 years (previously every 6 years) • NP varies by

• Follow‐up model– Physician is fully scheduled with new patients– APP sees follow‐up patients– Unless acuity requires physician visit– APP serves as primary contact between visits– Both APP and physician bill for their respective encounter

– Example: some Primary Care clinics

Page 30: Advanced Practice Providers€¦ · surgery electives • Average 600 clinical hours for NP ... • Recertification exam every 10 years (previously every 6 years) • NP varies by

• Leverage model– APP assists physician by performing tasks that allow for increased clinical volume

– Results in additional physician productivity– Physician bills for all services– Example: APP rounds on hospitalized patients, reviews/manages lab results

– Similar to co‐management but not much APP decision making

Page 31: Advanced Practice Providers€¦ · surgery electives • Average 600 clinical hours for NP ... • Recertification exam every 10 years (previously every 6 years) • NP varies by

• Specialty Specific model– Productivity expectation of the APP is defined in advance

– APPs may bill for independent procedures– Examples: APPs may serve as surgical First Assist, managing surgical follow‐up, initiate pre‐procedure workup 

Page 32: Advanced Practice Providers€¦ · surgery electives • Average 600 clinical hours for NP ... • Recertification exam every 10 years (previously every 6 years) • NP varies by

Bottom Line

• APPs are a great way to improve access to quality care for patients

• Improve clinical volumes and quality• Doing so in a cost effective manner• Ability to bill independently • Can allow physician to focus on higher acuity patients without compromising others
